Tousled locks give you a natural edge

Stand away from the straightening irons ! Texture is big news on the catwalks this season !

Keith Hall Experts talk you through how to create the perfect tousled style

To make this look work you will need a well-shaped cut with long layers to allow the volume and texture to work their magic. If your hair is all one length the style will drop before you've made it out the door !

The right styling products will help you achieve an undone style with ease. Create the 'tousled' look with a non-sticky smoothing cream to freshly towel dried hair. Mix in a little Fluid Crystal Serum for a glossy, frizz-free shine.

The next step is to shake like crazy ! Put your head upside down and shake your hair from root to end. Even dead straight hair will come up wavy. Toss your hair back and scrunch as it dries.

 It's really key to let the parting happen naturally, if you comb it in you'll lose that gorgeous undone look. To discover the natural parting, push the hair at the crown with your fingers and your parting should just fall into place.

This versatile look translates easily from day to night. To make the hair a little more sleek and sophisticated blow-dry smooth with a big round brush, it will straighten and smooth the style without making it feel too groomed. Move your parting over to the side for a more elegant feel that is more suited to evening, but still allow the parting to fall naturally.

For a more untamed finish, try smoothing Sebastian Evokativ Tousled Hair Mousse through damp hair. Flip over and blow-dry for a feathered effect. It gives you a voluminous texture that is pure catwalk chic !
